Character blueprint and animation blueprint crash often

I keep crashing every couple of minutes while Im working with a character blueprint and animation blueprint.
After the crash things like sockets and animation notifies will be missing even though I saved before the crash.

Apparently I’m not the only one having this issue. This is the same issue: https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/260232/persona-crash-in-animgraph-and-eventgraph.html

The site wont let me upload the image so here is a link to my specs just in case it is a hardware issue:
